BELGIUM’S DEFENCE
BRITAIN BOUND BY FOUR AGREEMENTS ASSISTANCE IN EVENT OF ATTACK. MR CHAMBERLAIN EXPLAINS POSITION. Great Britain is bound by four agreements and treaties to assist Belgium in the event of unprovoked aggression by Germany. They were enumerated by the Prime Minister. Mr Chamberlain, in a speech. They were the Locarno Pact of 1925, an undertaking given in London in 1936, the Anglo-French declaration to Belgium in 1937, and a statement made to the King of the Belgians by the British Ambassador in Brussels last August. Mr Chamberlain added that Britain retained the right to decide what constituted a threatened attack.—By radio. SWISS FRONTIER CLOSED DURING THE NIGHT. GERMANS ERECT BARBED WIRE BARRIER. A Daventry broadcast states that Germany has closed her frontier with Switzerland from 8 p.m. till 6 a.m.. and has erected a barbed wire barrier west of the Rhine near Basle.
